Glass Igloo Holidays
For aurora hunters desperate to catch a glimpse of the celestial light show but not so keen on enduring the freezing winter temperatures, Finnish Lapland offers the perfect solution. Igloo villages are scattered throughout the north of the country. With entire roofs made of heated glass, guests can watch the bright green shimmering ribbons from the comfort of their very own bed. From the luxurious Golden Crown in Levi to the family-friendly Arctic Snow Village in Rovaniemi, get in touch to find out more.
Room with a view
As seen on Channel 4’s Amazing Spaces: Northern Lights Adventure with George Clarke, Eagle View Suite at Hotel Iso Syote in Finnish Lapland, is one of the country’s most sought after places to stay. The spectacular two-story suite comes complete with a cosy living area and log fire, a luxurious bathroom with sauna, and even a Jacuzzi. A beautiful circular bed faces floor to ceiling windows and with a glass roof above, lucky guests can kick back and admire the Northern Lights in lavish comfort.

Spend the night in an Aurora Wagon
For those seeking splendid isolation beneath the stars, opt for a night in a glass-roofed wagon in Finnish Lapland. Inside a double bed, small kitchen and a bathroom provides everything required for night in the wild. And attached to the back, a wood-burning sauna on skis can be arranged. You’ll be whisked out into the wilderness to hunt for the Northern Lights in complete privacy then collected in the morning in time to enjoy a hearty breakfast back at the resort.
Aurora Ice Floating
Finland's abundance of frozen lakes are a wonder to explore by boat or even by floating aurora hut, yet a specialist aurora suit allows Arctic explorers to get up close and personal with the water and the night sky. A surprisingly soothing experience, simply zip up in an Arctic- grade all in one, and follow your guide. Your entire body will be protected whilst you are guided on a unique floating experience where you can search for the aurora between the stars.
